‘The Situation’ claims sending out his phone number in a tweet was a prank

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino from the reality TV show “Jersey Shore” claims when he sent out his phone number to the entire Twitterverse yesterday, it was actually a prank.

Twitter blew up yesterday after he tweeted a phone number to his 1.4 million followers.

But today he is tweeting: “Phone blew up haha good thing it wasn’t mine!! That will teach @petey_d to mess with the master of pranks!! #pranksgivng #UKtour #t#pran#gotcha.”

Ladies, you might not get to call the Situation and ask him about his “GTL” (gym, tan, laundry) routine after all.

Sorrentino was supposedly direct-messaging his number to a new lady friend, but then “accidentally” tweeted it to all his followers instead. And like any loyal follower, many of his Twitter followers retweeted it.
